There were various breakfast meals on a small round table. Xue’s father, Xue’s mother, Yuanjia and Xue Yuanjing sat down around the round table, which was particularly intimate and warm.

Xue’s mother helped Xue Yuanjing scooped a bowl of porridge in front of him: “This is your favorite lily lotus seed porridge, drink more.”

Xue Yuanjing held the bowl and smiled so hard that two deep dimples appeared on his face: "Thank you, mom."

The temperature of the lily lotus seed porridge was just in his mouth. He drank it very sweetly, but it still had the familiar taste. As he drank, tears involuntarily fell into the porridge bowl and drank it by him and the porridge that had been boiled.

Xue's father picked up a small golden round cake for him and smiled and said, "You are at the age of growing up, eat more."

Xue Yuanjing ate a small round cake and a bite of lily lotus seed porridge, and shed tears while eating it. Xue Yuanjing, who had never cried since his family was destroyed, seemed to have to shed tears for the rest of his life in the past two days.

Yuan Jia did not move the breakfast on the table, and looked at Xue Yuanjing quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

After Xue Yuanjing finished drinking the porridge, he turned to look at the elder brother beside him and asked strangely: "Why don't you eat it?"

Yuan Jia smiled and said, "Just eat, brother is not hungry."

Xue Yuanjing smiled sadly. He remembered that it was the same before. He tasted similar to his elder brother, but his elder brother always gave in to him, asking him to eat first and then eat the leftovers himself.

He took the initiative to scoop porridge and pick up cakes for his elder brother: "Brother, you can eat it too."

After a breakfast meal that made Xue Yuanjing feel happy and fulfilled, he held the sword on his waist tightly and listened vigilantly to the movement outside the Xuejiazhuang gate.

Fifteen years ago, it was the day of my elder brother's birthday. After breakfast, before noon, the murderer led his people into Xuejiazhuang and killed more than 100 people from Xuejiazhuang, without leaving any chickens and dogs.

Yuan Jia saw Xue Yuanjing's vigilant appearance and knew in his heart what he was vigilant, but he did not say it directly, but diverted his attention in another way: "Yuan Jing, yesterday three thieves climbed over the wall and trespassed the village and were caught by me. Uncle Yang said that they were with you all the way, and you don't know them?"

Xue Yuanjing was stunned for a moment. At first, he thought that the three thieves Yuan Jia mentioned were sent by his enemies. When he heard this, he realized that it might be Jiang Li and the other three.

When he thought of Jiang Li and the other two, he naturally remembered something wrong with Xuejiazhuang.

Xue Yuanjing knew exactly what was wrong with Xuejiazhuang. He knew that Jiang Li and the other two came to Xuejiazhuang to solve this problem.

In his opinion, Jiang Li and the other two wanted to destroy his happy life now, so Xue Yuanjing said without hesitation: "I really don't know them."

Xue Yuanjing has been living in the world for more than ten years and has a sense of hatred, so he is naturally not a naive and kind person. Jiang Li and the other two asked him to lead the way, but he would not give him any benefits. His attitude of using him as cannon fodder to explore the way is too obvious. Now he pretends not to know Jiang Li and the other two will not feel any guilt at all.

I wasn't a member of the same place.

Yuan Jia's smile remained unchanged: "It's okay if you don't know each other, you're not an important person anyway, you're just three thieves."

Xue Yuanjing guarded the place near the gate of Xuejiazhuang for a morning. The servants coming and going were decorated with lights and celebrating the 18th birthday of his eldest son, which was very lively.

The birthday banquet at noon has begun. Logically, there should be guests coming now, but the gate of Xuejiazhuang has been closed and no one has come in.

Xue Yuanjing didn't care whether there were any guests or not. Even if the birthday party was only held by their family and four, as long as nothing happened, it would be better than anything else.

Yuan Jia walked over and hugged Xue Yuanjing's shoulder, and smiled and said, "Yuan Jing, are you guarding the gate here? Just have Uncle Yang guarding here, the meal will start soon. My parents have been waiting for you for a long time."

He knew Xue Yuanjing's concerns, but this was an illusion he evolved. He wanted the murderer to appear and the other party would appear. He did not want the murderer to come out to destroy the birthday banquet. Xue Yuanjia's 18th birthday banquet would be held smoothly.

Yuan Jia brought Xue Yuanjing to the banquet. There was still only one family of four at the huge banquet.

Xue’s father and Xue’s mother still looked at the two brothers with gentle and loving smiles. The smiles on their faces were exactly the same as when Xue Yuanjing stepped into Xuejiazhuang yesterday and saw them.

Xue Yuanjing lowered his head slightly and choked and said, "Dad, mother."

Yuan Jia wanted to comfort him very much, but he knew very well that he would not break Xue Yuanjing's beautiful fantasy now, otherwise he would not be able to bear it mentally.

As soon as he thought, Xue's father and Xue's mother came over, each holding his hand, and comforted him gently: "What's wrong with Jing'er? Who made you sad? Tell your parents, your parents vent your anger."

Xue Yuanjing blinked hard, tears fell on the ground and left a small circle: "No, no one bullies me, I'm just happy."

Yuan Jia smiled and said, "Dad, mom, Yuan Jing also wants to grow up and celebrate the 18th birthday party."

Xue Yuanjing nodded silently and couldn't speak.

His birth date of 18 years old was long gone. He still remembered that when he was 18 years old, he had not yet mastered his magic skills and was still being chased by his enemies. He hid in a remote mountain forest and did not dare to show up.

He failed to catch his prey that day, so he only ate two wild fruits and was hungry for a day.

Looking back now, I still remember that the smell of wild fruits was sour, but he felt bitter and too hungry at that time, as if he didn't feel the sour taste, and he cherished all the sour and astringent wild fruits.

Xue Yuanjing said, "When I celebrate my 18th birthday, I will also ask my parents and elder brother to celebrate my birthday with me." He looked at Yuanjia and showed a bright smile, "Brother, when I celebrate my 18th birthday, you must remember to give me a birthday gift!"

Yuanjia felt sour in his heart. Xue Yuanjing is almost twenty-nine years old now. Not to mention his 18th birthday, even his 28th birthday has passed.

A doting smile appeared on his face: "Okay, my brother promised you that when you are 18th birthday, my brother will give you a big gift."

Xue Yuanjing turned to look at Xue’s father and mother: “And my parents, parents should not forget my birthday.”

Xue's mother smiled and pointed at his forehead, and said angrily: "You monkey, you won't forget anyone, or you won't be overwhelmed?"

Xue Yuanjing smiled.

Xue Yuanjing suddenly took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Yuanjia: "Brother, this is the birthday gift I have prepared for you, and I can finally give it to you."

Yuan Jia was stunned. Looking at the little box in Xue Yuanjing's hand that looked old but well preserved, it took a while to react and follow it: "Thank you, Yuanjing, brother, I like it very much."

Xue Yuanjing smiled and said, "How come he knew he liked it before he could read it?"

Yuan Jia said while opening the box: "I like whatever my brother gave me."

In the box was a delicate dagger lying on a piece of soft silk, and a shining ruby ​​was inlaid on the handle of the dagger.

He took out the dagger and pulled it out. Even after fifteen years, it was still as sharp as before: "Good knife!"

Xue Yuanjing raised his eyebrows proudly and smiled: "That's right, this is what I went to Wuxi City to find Master Yi to customize. Master Yi is so easy to strive for excellence. The delivery time was one day late, and I almost missed it..."

He suddenly shut up and said nothing.

Yuan Jia seemed to have not heard it, inserted the blade of the dagger back into the sheath, carefully placed it in the small box, and like Xue Yuanjing, he put the small box in his arms and put it close to his body, never leaving him.

Even if only Xue Yuanjing was the only one who ate this birthday banquet at noon, he would have a very lively meal with Xue’s father, Xue’s mother and Yuanjia.

Even though these exquisite dishes are all illusions transformed by Yuanjia, no one wants to see through them, don’t want to say them, indulge in this false happiness and go back to the past of Myanmar.

After the birthday party, Yuanjia left the space for Xue Yuanjing and Xue’s father and mother, so that they could get along well for a while.

Yuan Jia returned to his residence, sat at the table, took out the small box in his arms, stared at it in a daze.

He knew without Xue Yuanjing's words that this was the birthday gift that Xue Yuanjing customized for Xue Yuanjia fifteen years ago. But before I could give it out, I was separated by yin and yang.

The dead are wandering here, and the living are struggling to survive with hatred in pursuit...

If Xue’s father, Xue’s mother and Xue Yuanjia were still alive and would have felt so distressed to learn that their beloved young son/brother’s life was so hard after the age of thirteen.

Yuan Jia touched his heart. Although he had become a strange heartless thing, he still felt a continuous feeling of heartache coming from his heart?

Xue Yuanjing leaned beside Xue’s father and mother, telling them about their inner longing.

Xue’s father and Xue’s mother gently stroked his hair, and did not ask why he missed them like he had never seen each other for many years.

In their opinion, the handsome and handsome boy who snuggled in their arms was their beloved young son.

A strange shadow touched here sneakily. After 'saw' Xue Yuanjing, the shadow came into contact with Xue Yuanjing's shadow and took a picture of Xue Yuanjing's shadow: "Xue Yuanjing!"

Xue Yuanjing, who was lying in the arms of Xue’s father and mother, suddenly felt that his shoulder was being patted. He heard someone calling him again. He was shocked and turned around, but he didn’t see anyone. He looked around in shock.

"Xue Yuanjing, I'm at your feet."

Xue Yuanjing looked down and saw a strange shadow next to his shadow. The words just now came from this shadow: "Who are you?"

The shadow said, "Xue Yuanjing, I am Jiang Li. I am arrested now and can't escape for the time being. I can only divide my shadow and find you."

Xue Yuanjing said lightly: "I am just an ordinary person and I can't save you."

Jiang Li's shadow said, "No, you can save us. Xuejiazhuang is not weird, the real weirdness is transformed by your elder brother Xue Yuanjia. The rest of the people in Xuejiazhuang are all ghosts. If you don't believe it, look at the feet of the two ghosts in front of you, they have no shadow."

Xue Yuanjing glanced at Xue's father and mother, who had a familiar and loving smile on his face. They were still looking at him gently, as if they could not hear the conversation between him and Jiang Li's shadow.

Yuan Jia is not here, and the confused father and mother Xue are very rigid and not flexible at all. Xue Yuanjing has long noticed their abnormality.

But he doesn't want to see through it.

Xue Yuanjing did not look at Xue's father and Xue's mother. He had known whether they had any shadows.

He said coldly to Jiang Li's shadow: "They are my parents, whether they are humans or ghosts, they are all my parents."

Jiang Li's shadow was actually controlled by Jiang Li's consciousness. When he heard Xue Yuanjing's words, he couldn't believe it: "These are two low-level ghosts, not even sanity. You even treat them as parents? Xue Yuanjing, be a little more awake. These are all illusions, all fake!"

Xue Yuanjing said firmly: "No, it's true!"

No matter whether my father and mother are ghosts or anything else, they are his parents, even if they are confused and unconscious, they are his parents.

No matter whether the eldest brother turns into a ghost or is weird, he is still his eldest brother.

He was still waiting for his 18th birthday, and his parents and elder brother celebrated his birthday and gave him a birthday gift.

"Jing'er, why don't you talk?" Xue's mother looked at him gently.

Xue Yuanjing immediately threw away Jiang Li's shadow and smiled and said to Xue's mother: "Mom, I'm wondering how to spend my 18th birthday."
